FUNCTIONALITY FIX
A problem with NFS version 3 mounts on big endian machines (m68k, sparc
and powerpc) exists when mounting filesystems larger than 2gig. You
can see evidence of the bug by running df(1) and checking for negative
partition sizes.
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.

FUNCTIONALITY FIX
The kernel was using a fixed and hard-coded location for the arguments
vector passed from the /boot loader. This prevented
/boot from placing the boot arguments vector at any
other location, causing a kernel crash early in the autoconfiguration
stage. In 2.5, the bootblocks will be modified to use a new location.
Hence, if you wish old kernels to boot on a new bootblock, those
kernels will only work if they were linked with this patch.
